Prevailed in second-time hood at Taunton (2m, good) most recently, adding to his Flat win, and may have more to offer in the retained headgear; in deeper waters today but could go well.

Won a Goodwood maiden for Andrew Balding in June (1m6f, good to firm); improved on first hurdles run when neck second over C&D last time (heavy; hood tried); headgear retained; this faster is ground likely to suit; one with a chance.

J: Jack Tudor

Useful peak RPR of 94 on the Flat for Andrew Balding; ran to a fair level when last of three finishers on Exeter hurdle debut (heavy) eight weeks ago and should prove capable of better, particularly if a first-time hood helps him to settle better through the early stages than he did on that occasion.

Out of an unraced half-sister to his yard's 6f/7f Group 1 winner Kinross; promising third in 7f maiden at Newmarket, shaping as if he'll be suited by this extra furlong; hood worn that day is now removed; respected.

Shaped well when placed in a pair of 1m2f Salisbury handicaps last summer; off eight months but this low-mileage son of New Approach should have more to offer in 2026, especially over 1m4f; interesting.

Now eligible for nurseries but sticks to non-handicap level; sneaked into the frame over 7f the last twice; major player on form and bred to be suited by this C&D, being a son of Sussex Stakes winner Mohaather.

Fair level of juvenile form - RPR's in the 70's - over 6f-1m; underwent wind surgery, and gelded, prior to reappearing in a Brighton maiden (6f, good to firm; third, beaten 6l) in April; probably needs a bit more to make the breakthrough.

Needs to put a poor performance at Chelmsford (1m5f, AW) last time behind him, but his record here this year (1m2f/11.5f) reads 131, both wins coming on good to firm ground; respected back at this venue, but easing ground could be a negative.
